THE CHILDREN OF TOMORROW

Unusual libraries

An episode from the series WHERE PEOPLE READ

Synopsis

Born into poverty in rural Nepal, Indira Ranamagar understood what it was like to be deprived of certain privileges that a child should enjoy: freedom, education, and proper nutrition.

She founded Prisoners Assistance Nepal to care for children rescued from prisons and provide services to inmates across the country.

The buffalo wagon traveling library is a project that takes children living in prison with their incarcerated mothers on book trips where storytelling, craft activities and gifts galore play a big part in compensating for lost youth.
